He played in the Championship game, bro. Had he not reaggravated his injury in that game, he would have played in the Super Bowl.

We won that game, by the way lol everything is just peachy

Surgery always carries risks. I mean, remember Tyrod Taylor? Even the simplest of procedures carry some risk.

The right call was to see if he could get healthy enough to finish the season, then maybe have surgery in the offseason.

I could see him going to the Ders to help EB implement his offense.

So does it seem pretty likely he was trying to play through some kind of hernia instead of getting season-ending surgery?

Edit: some of the commenters are saying grade 2 or 3 abdominal strain. Sounds rough.
[Reply]

He wanted to play. I don't care what anyone says the kid showed heart. Coming down with that first down catch in so much pain and hanging onto the ball really showed fortitude. It maybe the most clutch catch of the season.
[Reply]

Looks exactly like that.
[Reply]

I might be completely wrong but I swore I read somewhere he had hernia surgery earlier this season, maybe it was speculation , I cant find anything now.

Remember that idiot that said Hardman was faking an injury because he was upset that the Chiefs traded for Toney?
[Reply]

Hardman sure is carrying the hoax out to the extreme!
[Reply]

He sure did. We have some real MENSA candidates up in here.

Hearing he will be gone in FA
[Reply]

Not a shock.

We all knew he was gone with the Toney trade.

Just wanted to bump this thread and show Mecole some love. Last two games the guy has really stepped up. He's running some really good routes right now, getting yac and his jetsweeps and punt returns are looking dangerous. I honestly think he's gonna surprise a lot of folks this season if he continues this form.

Agreed, he is a nice depth piece to have that can actually provide some splash plays.
